This is a great fic, a very fun Zoyalina read
Anon prompted me with ‘Floorboards’ for Zoyalina. Thank you!
This was the most challenging prompt so far; I wanted to get it just right, but it was a lot of fun writing for the two of them.
Full fic on AO3 here!
Preview:
Letting the glow in her hand dissipate into nothing, Alina stepped into the shafts of moonlight, looking down at her feet as if she were stepping into an ocean. There was no cold wetness around her toes, but to her surprise she could feel the light where it hit her skin. Moonlight was just reflected sunlight, after all, and she was the Sun Summoner.
She gave a little huff of awed breath, wiggling her toes in the light.
‘This room is already taken for brooding.’
The voice came from nowhere, and Alina startled as the words echoed around the empty ballroom, her hands coming up defensively as she called a ball of light to her hands.
‘Oh please,’ came the voice again, and Alina only half relaxed as she saw Zoya, leaning against the wall by one of the arched windows. ‘Word is you can barely light a doorway on your own. What are you going to do with that?’
Hundred of years I closed my heart [...] What a safe way to live. What a small way as well.
Does anyone else think about the differences between worshipping Saints?
For there has to be difference between East and West Ravka, nomadic Suli vs. stationary Ravkans, etc.
What headcanons or fanon have you constructed or used in your stories?
I think it’s interesting seeing how Inej practices her faith:
Inej knows she doesn’t need a fancy chapel to pray, but she does have physical reminders of the Saints that also have multiple uses and are easy to travel with.
Versus the Ravkan population who goes to “Church” which would be tied heavily to the Crown and the Apparat influence.
They put a lot more importance on study and the Saints are seen as almost gods to fear versus role models to emulate (that’s how I think Inej and her specific Caravan view the Saints).
What are your thoughts? I know the religions in the Grishaverse are…flimsy…but do you have anything to add? If you could change something what would you change? Are there any aspects of these fantasy religions that you hadn’t seen before or fascinated you?
I'm on a Tamar and Nadia kick guys and I don't know when it's going to end so you're just going to have to deal with me

I’m going to the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
drinking game idea:
read the Shadow and Bone trilogy and take a shot every time Alina describes *in length* Genya and Zoya as the most beautiful people she had ever laid her eyes upon
These are spectacular!!!Sankta Neyar

*Snippet of “The Lives of Saints” Episode Two (I’m working on this instead of my speech homework, fun times.)
*No promises whether this will make the final draft 😊
ZLATAN: (staring intensely) They’re up to something. ZENIK, what of the cartographer’s progress?
NINA: She still won’t talk, sir. She needs more time.
ZLATAN: I gave you one task.
NINA: The brain is a complex system, especially given stress. Would you rather she experience a stroke instead?
ZLATAN: (rolls his eyes) I want her information by eighteen bells.
END of SNIPPET
*yall think I should use military time (24 hour) or 12 hour clock for time keeping?

Unrelated but I love Nina edits that start with Calahan saying "mother is mothering y'all" so fucking much!
